Places

Lyrics and Music by Markus Lorber

Let me take you down there is a place
an ancient lake where dreams awake
you feel the pain you feel the grace
that life can bring that life can take
the wood beyond the water tells
you're not alone there's someone else
who suffers from passions of life
who sometimes feels death grow too rife

let me take you with me there' s a place
an ancient stump there on the hill
you sit and watch the Indian’s face
and feel that life's not always chill
the Sioux beyond the valley tells
you're not alone there's someone else
who suffers from passions of life
who sometimes feels death grow too rife

at such a place I feel alive
nobody's there to cause a strife
just my love for you's around
but without pain 'cause pain is drowned
the Sioux beyond the valley tells
you're not alone there's someone else
who suffers from passions of life
who sometimes feels death grow too rife

let me take you with me
let me take you with me

Thanks/Dånkschen

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

I don't pretend
that I cry for you
I don't know if I understand
I'm sure that you would do, oh yes you do

your peaceful face is on my mind
can death be pleasure, too?
I'm glad your pains are all behind
I'll never forget you, oh I won't do

grandma thanks for all nights
that you came to me
grandma thanks for all fears
that you took away
away from me

maybe now your mum is there
there, there where you are
I know that you did always care
you had to wait so far
now you're with her

grandma thanks for all nights
that you came to me
grandma thanks for all fears
that you took away
away from me

Na, na i gib net fua
daß i jetz um di blea
i was a net ob i 's vasteh
fia di is jetz ålls kloa; und niama schwea

Oma, i dånk da schen

Oma, i dånk da schen

håst sie vamißt

Oma, i dånk da schen
füa die Nächt, dest du bei mia woast
Oma, i dånk da schen
füa de Ångst dest du fuatgjågt håst
weit weg von mia

dei ruhiges Gsicht is noch fua mia
kånn Steabn wås schenes sein?
zum Glick is åll dei Leid vorbei
i vagiß di sicha net, wiast bei mia bleim

Ocean Blue/Ozeanblau

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

Out on the ocean
what will be there?
no more emotion
and no love affair
moving away from the waves of desire
a salty breeze will blow out the fire
Baby, I feel the ocean blue!
Baby, I feel the ocean blue!

Draußn am Ozean
wås wiad duat wohl sein?
ka Emotion mehr
ka Liebesaffair
weg vom Valångan und den Wogen des Lebens
a Brise Sålz de löscht des Feia aus
Klanes, i gspia des Ozeanblau!
Klanes, i gspia des Ozeanblau!

Strange Experience

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

No matter what we do
we all are on the way
There is no chance for us to stay

Somebody's gone without goodbyes
somebody’s here with so sad eyes
somebody loves another one
somebody's always on the run
somebody feels the doubts of life
somebody lies to prevent strife

somebody once turned red for me
somebody's gone now to be free
somebody knows the unknown things
somebody's free just when he sings
somebody hates the compromise
somebody's sure to be so wise

No matter what we do
we all are on the way
There is no chance for us to stay

Somebody here has just one ear
somebody there's always in fear
somebody loves the poetry
somebody knows not what to be
somebody thought, "it's time to die!"
somebody needs to laugh and sigh

No matter what we do
we all are on the way
There is no chance for us to stay

somebody seems to be a friend
somebody's sad until the end
somebody strums the guitar long
somebody says that you are wrong
somebody's in a world of dreams
somebody knows not what it means

No matter what we do
we all are on the way
There is no chance for us to stay

Free Fall in Fall

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

The leaves are falling to the ground
to leave the tree's eternity
they fall to hear the ancient sound
of death and so they will be free

free fall to mother earth
where death waits to release
free fall to a new birth
that leads to silent peace

Oh, fall-wind come to me
yes, you can get me free
from all my things of strife
and from my tree of life

the leaves are falling to the ground
to leave the tree's eternity
they fall to hear the ancient sound
of death and so they will be free

Divorces

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

I've seen them with their pain
everywhere it is the same
no one knows what's going wrong
where do we belong?

broken couples full of hate
talk through lawyers and then wait
for the one they once loved well
to go down into hell

and it seems to be a game
but I do not want to fall insane
no, I won't cry
no, I don't want to see them die

children do not know why their
parents fight in deep despair
mum disdains what daddy says
and dad says mum is dead

lawyers are the well paid friends
helping that pain never ends
knowing law instead of life
and so they pray for strife

and it seems to be a game
but I do not want to fall insane
no, I won't cry
no, I don't want to see them die

I've seen them with their pain
everywhere it is the same
no one knows what's going wrong
where do we belong?

In our Mind

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

I know what you want
but what you want is not the best for me
I know what you think
but what you think is not the best for me

so shall we go our ways now all alone
each on his own
and shall we leave those years behind
although we know
we'll never find the things we're longing for
they do exist just in our mind

you know what I want
but what I want is not the best for you
you know what I think
but what I think is not the best for you

so shall we go our ways now all alone
each on his own
and shall we leave those years behind
although we know
we'll never find the things we're longing for
they do exist just in our mind

or shall we go on now
and try to find the persons
that we have become in all those years
maybe then we will see
the things we've never known
deep inside the ones we thought to know

we know what we want
but what we want is not the best for us
we know what we think
but what we think is not the best for us

so shall we go our ways now all alone
each on his own
and shall we leave those years behind
although we know
we'll never find the things we're longing for
they do exist just in our mind

Because of Monica

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

There's something in the way she smiles
so childlike but in grace
maybe it's just the way she styles
her hair around her face
maybe it's just her way to tell
her fairytales to you
maybe it's just her blooming smell
and what her hands can do

Maybe it's just her long brown hair
that veils you through her kiss
maybe it's 'cause you walk on air
when she lends you her bliss
maybe it's just her deep dark eyes
through which you fly away
maybe it's just the way she sighs
and brings you childhood-days

Maybe the moon will once lead you
and you'll run into her
then soon she will bewitch you, too
her love you will prefer
but don't be jealous if one day
she'll leave, just let her go
because in your mind she will stay
and all your love will grow

And you will dream sweat as I do
the dream of Monica
and you'll be free and peaceful, too
because of Monica
and you will find nothing's in vain
because of Monica
And you will sing this song again
because of Monica

Late Summer Evening

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

(Written for the wedding ceremony of Maria and Christian)

Translation to Spanish by Elfie Rathner

Zwei Haikus für eine Hochzeitsfürbitte

Spätsommerabend:

Du küßt heut’ den, den du liebst

wie du ihn heut’ kennst.

Wunsch für die Zukunft:

Küß heut’ schon den, der er wird

morgen und später.

Dos haikus para una pedición de poda

Verano tarde:

Tù besas hoy quien quieres

como hoy le ves.

Por el porvenir:

Besá hoy al quien serà

pronto y tarde.

Two haikus for one wedding-intercession

Late summer evening:

Today you kiss whom you love

as you know him now.

Wish for the future:

Kiss now the one whom he’ll be

sooner and later.

Sometimes / Månchmål / A Veces

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

Sometimes you`re sad and you don’t know why

Sometimes you feel like you would have to die

Sometimes your life is going so wrong

Sometimes you don’t want to hear any song

Sometimes you feel as one with yourself

Sometimes you ambrace the world

Sometimes you smile though you’re treaten wrong

Sometimes you can not be hurt

Sometimes you smile, sometimes you cry

Sometimes you feel it’s alright

Sometimes you hurt, sometimes you love

Sometimes you feel it’s alright

Månchmål bist traurig, du wast nit warum

Månchmål då glabst du bringst di jetz um

Månchmål is ålles nua mea zum Blean

Månchmål då wüllst a ka schens Liad mea hean

Månchmål då bist gånz ans mit dia sölbst

Månchmål då umårmst die Wölt

Månchmål då låchst obwohl ma dia Unrecht tuat

Månchmål då bist du a Höld

Månchmål då lachst, månchmål då wanst

Månchmål is es gut so wie’s is

Månchmål då hasst, månchmål då liebst

Månchmål is es gut so wie’s is

A veces tristeza, tu no sabes por qué

A veces te sientes cerca de la muerte

A veces tu vida es una complicación

A veces no quieres oír ninguna canción

A veces te sientes en armonía contigo

A veces abrazas al mundo

A veces sonríes aunque te tratan tan mal

A veces no te pueden hacer daño

A veces sonríes, a veces lloras

A veces está bien como es

A veces odias, a veces amas

A veces está bien como es

Drifting

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

Some say life's a river

flowing to an end

drifting like the continents

creating brand-new land

Some say life 's a sunbeam

runing through space and time

in an expanding universe

without fixed boarderline

But I like to stand still

wasting every skill
Sweet girl come and join me

We've got nothing to fulfill

Some say you are lazy

if you're sleeping much too long

i f you' re not busy making money

something must be wrong

But I say it´s not healthy

if you can' t sleep enough

after working hard the whole day long

you won' t be able to make love

And I like to stand still

wasting every skill
Sweet girl come and join me

We've got nothing to fulfill

Oh, I drift away

no, I can't stay

on a straight way

oh, I will drift away

Some say life's a river

flowing to an end

drifting like the continents

creating brand-new land

Some say life's a sunbeam

runing through space and time

in an expanding universe

without fixed boarderline

But I like to stand still

wasting every skill
Sweet girl come and join me

We've got nothing to fulfill

Your Dream

Music & Lyrics by Markus Lorber

I am the one who lives your dream

But you don't know what this could mean

I know you're happy

You've got everything you want

I am the one who lives your dream

You love our life just as it is

Your dreams come true and that's a bliss

You think I'm happy

Because all I need is you

You love our life just as it is

Oh, you're so happy

You like to share your dreams with me

You don't know mine and you’re happy

We live your dreams, you don't know mine

So you love me and you feel fine

I am the one who lived your dream

You never asked what this could mean

Now when you'll wake up

You'll find that I'll be gone

I am the one who lived your dream
